I don't know...paradise sounds a bit extreme. Manifesting a vision is probably more accurate.
I spend a lot of time in the garden, doing nothing (based on appearances). The truth of the matter is that in the stillness my heart is connecting to the space and guiding me in its creation. Then again, maybe I'm just lazy (no, that's not true...lacking in energy at times, fatigued, yes but lazy, no). It's a matter of observation, noticing what plants are doing well and where, how much light is actually getting to different areas, how compacted the soil might still be, and last but not least, how delighted I am in the way things are shaping up. How does this garden feel?
I garden for the joy of it, but also because I like to grow my own flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruits. The fact that I'm surrounded by big trees has created a tricky situation, but I've accepted that harvests will probably never reach the volume I'd like. There are only so many places with decent sunshine. However, there is a loveliness to living in a little woodland as well...so there's that (not during a storm, maybe, but all other times). It can be magical.
So...Avery and I are all into the simple joy of hanging out and doing nothing in our botanical wonderland.
